 Welcome to our page of accommodation in Wirksworth!
The pretty market town of Wirksworth existed well before
the Norman Conquest. At one time it was
the headquarters of the lead - mining industry in the South Peak,
but now relies on limestone quarrying for its staple industry.
It is here that the lead - miners have their Barmote Court to
deal with mining disputes, and is the oldest industrial court
in the country. It still meets twice a year in the Moot Hall
in Chapel Lane.The Heritage Centre in Crown Yard is an ideal
place to begin to explore Wirksworth and wander round the Town
Hall. Narrow alleys climb the hillside away from the market place
to groups of cottages clustered around tiny yards. |
